The club confirmed the acquisition on Tuesday through its official Facebook page, revealing a two-year contract with the former Smouha player.
The decision to bring in Liadi is part of Al-Ittihad’s strategy to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming season. Known for his speed and versatility, Liadi is capable of operating both on the right wing and in an attacking midfield role.
